I worked with Kate at Sandalwood Design when I recently moved from Manhattan to Darien, CT. I didn't think that I needed the help of an interior designer but I am so glad that I reached out. Kate knew exactly what size furniture pieces fit where and helped me to lay out my living room to improve the flow and overall feel of the room. She picked up on things I wouldn't have thought of on my own (add more curtain panels, table behind the couch!) and helped me really turn this new house into a home. Working with her was a wonderful experience. She worked within my budget and gave me a variety of choices with different price points. Also, she took into consideration that anything we chose had to be child-friendly (durable and safe). She's a mother too and gets what it's like to balance having a nice home with the reality of children and pets. I wasn't sure what working with a designer would be like but this couldn't have gone more smoothly. Highly recommended! read more
